BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See

Mabel Munoz Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

creweblueyondercouk I have read some of the 1 out of 10 mob. They must have been watching a different movie to me. All this feminist message rubbish. Disney sold out rubbish. Well maybe they got out of bed on the wrong side. It was brilliant. Jolie was brilliant. The evil king Stefan got his richly deserved comeuppance and everyone lived happily ever after. As it should be. Jolie got the balance of strength but vulnerable just right. She tries to be evil but it's hard when you are fundamentally good. Hate makes you feel bad. Love makes you feel good, and we all want to feel good. If you haven't seen it do so ASAP. You won't regret it.

Michael Ledo I think we all know the story. Maleficent (Angelina Jolie) slips Sleeping Beauty (Elle Fanning) a roofie and allows a Prince (Brenton Thwaites) to kiss on her while she is asleep and still keep it a family film. Add a spinning wheel, a castle, and a fire breathing dragon and you got the basic story.What Disney did was to retell the classic in such a magnificent way as to make you never want to watch the old one again. Maleficent is our horned fairy who is basically good. Both her and the plot develop levels of complexity that is not the norm for a children's film. There is a role reversal as good and evil blur lines until the point we root for those we had desired to fail in the original tale.Jolie was great in a role seemingly made for her. Elle Fanning would not have been my first choice, but she was sufficient, perhaps over shadowed by Jolie. My favorite line was when Jolie said, "I don't want children." Sure you don't, Angelina.There is an underlying theme that perhaps our enemies aren't so evil once we see the world through their eyes. This is a kids film that adults will love. Indeed, I felt like I was eight years old munching on my popcorn, chasing it with Metamucil.The language is G rated. The PG comes from battle scenes and some dark scenes. Comparable to "Narnia" or "Alice."

fredgfinklemeyer 07/15/2018 A perfect movie for children of all ages, even those so old that they probably know the first name of the Grim Reaper (that's a really old viewer). A well done fantasy storyline of how good will eventually triumph over evil, a fairy princess story for little girls. Angelina Jolie plays the dark queen so well. The animated medieval period backdrops are perfect recreations of an early period in time, wonderful to see, as well the movies fantasy forest and the many different creatures that live within. That in itself will delight the hearts of children of any age. Find a child and watch it right now .......... An Absolutely Perfect family safe movie! Bon Appetit

ozart2002-919-392694 I have been ignoring this for some time, but finally decided to sit thru it and was more than pleasantly surprised. While I find Elle Fanning even more annoying than her sister, and I needed my super secret decoder ring to decipher any of Sharlto Copely's lines, Angelina Jolie put on a fabulous performance that overcame both of those speed bumps and made it more than worth the time.
